Autumn in the garden

Developed over generations of one family, this idyllic garden has been designed to be both pleasantly attractive and functional. Enjoy the changing colours this autumn.

With its wonderful range of seasonal borders, quaint home grown vegetable plots and open spacious lawns the family spent many happy years gardening and socialising with friends. The garden is an ever-changing space, not only from season to season but designed and developed by individuals over time.

The garden has always been a space of enjoyment for the family. From growing peaches in the glass greenhouse, afternoon tea on the lawn, to being the feature article in the 1901 edition of Country Life magazine.

Today, it's developed and cared for by our gardener and his team of dedicated volunteers to be enjoyed by thousands of visitors.

As the nights draw in and there's a slight chill in the air, join us in the garden this season to see the beautiful autumnal colours. Red, burnt orange and golden leaves scatter the paths and lawns and an array of fascinating seedheads can be seen amongst seasonal borders.
